From the moment we booked HiMotive Entertainment & Photobooth, their communication was fast, easy, and personable. He was incredibly professional and went above and beyond to make our wedding day special.

We cannot say enough about DJ Rock Steady and his wife! They absolutely nailed it at our wedding on December 28, 2024. From start to finish, they were professional, engaging, and in total sync with the crowd, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long. Ours was a dry wedding (a fun little nod to the bride's rule: “If I can’t drink, no one can!”—though we did sneak in a champagne toast). Despite the absence of alcohol, the party was nothing short of epic. We owe that entirely to DJ Rock Steady’s incredible ability to create an electric atmosphere and keep everyone having a blast. The feedback from our guests has been overwhelming—many commented that it was one of the most fun and lively weddings they’d ever attended. It's true what they say: the DJ and the caterer are the backbone of any great wedding, and we struck gold with DJ Rock Steady. His talent, energy, and charisma turned our special day into an unforgettable celebration. We wholeheartedly recommend DJ Rock Steady to anyone looking for a top-notch DJ who can truly bring an event to life. Thank you, DJ Rock Steady, a thousand times over for making our wedding so special and memorable. We’ll forever be grateful for your magic on our big day! With love and appreciation, Madi and Casey

Awarded Best of Zola
I truly cannot recommend them enough. I can confidently brag that we had the best wedding band I’ve ever heard. We saw them perform at another wedding and booked them in between sets they were so good. For ours, we had a 7 piece band perform for the reception and it was so incredible (Motown, funk, oldies, and pop). They brought great energy and the music was amazing. We got so many compliments from our guests. They also did the audio for the ceremony and cocktail hour (just recorded songs, not live) and MC’ed the whole event. It went so smoothly. We filled out an extensive form they have and then met to review the plan for the day. It went off perfectly and flowed so well. Definitely worth asking for Kelley the pianist because he’s also a great singer. My one note is we got a wireless mic for the ceremony and there was a little delay in the audio so it was a little disorienting to speak like there was an echo. It making reading vows a little hard. So I’d recommend either talking to them about that or going with a wired mic, maybe.

Tyler was awesome to work with! He had an amazing song line up. As a working vendor, I had to remind myself not to get on the dance floor with the guests. At one point, he got on the floor himself during the reception to teach everyone the steps to a song. He was incredibly professional and fun to work with. I know the wedding couple was so pleased to have him DJing their reception.

Don’t trust uncle Jerry with the aux cord and Spotify playlist. Your big day deserves better. Your wedding is a celebration of your love, and the beginning of creating a life together with the person you love most.
